Im not holding my breath. However, his withdrawal statement was only 45 words and short on everything....
"short on everything" pretty much sums up Fred's vision for America along with any real plan of action.

I feel that the most knowledgeable and patriotic people post here at FreeRepublic. How could we all be so wrong? This election season has been one of the most frustrating I have ever seen. Independents and Democrats voting in Republican primaries and pushing the most liberal candidates for the rest of the party to be stuck with.*******************
I think you answered your own question. We weren't wrong in thinking that Fred was the best candidate in the race. Unfortunately for us and for our country, our primary system needs some work, for the very reason you stated.

Your vote for Fred is what turned out to be not worth "zot". Get over it. The man had NO vision, NO plan. It's time for a leader who isn't cut from the same old cloth as the status quo. It's time for the Huckster!!!

O, say can you see
by the dawn’s early light
what so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Fred’s gone and so’s my dawn.

Nicely said. I’m with you and in a political funk. There’s no candidate on the horizon. They all reek. It’s somewhat depressing to hear others trying to turn their sow’s-ear candidate into a silk purse. Can’t be done. Hence, my tagline.

I agree with you, no McCain or Huckabee for me.

If only chocolate would bring Fred back.
Your tagline says it all.

We need to be preparing for 2012.
What kind of young, articulate conservatives do we have playing on the farm teams that we can call up?

I don't want to bust your bubble or Freddle, but conventions are filled with Republican delegate's who are pledged, legally and morally pledged to a particular candidate. They don't float around very easily and the convention will vote ballots until there is a clear winner through horse trading.
Once a candidate drops out with virtually no delegates, there is nothing to bargain with.
In the past, names have changed as to the VP, but the president must have something going in. At least a national following of some sort.
Fred does not had any of this to any large degree and was late to the party. In fact, the only Fred heads I have seen are here on this forum.
A losing candidate like Huckabee would be far more likely to broker for delegates then Fred, and he has little to no chance.
Fred is out. Unless there is someone in the wings who can mount a sudden following and swoon delegates, the candidate will come from the 4 who are left and they will have delegates to horse trade with. But I'm not sure about Rudy, so there may only be three, and probably only two.

He endorsed someone - mccainniac or the huckster - which took him off the conservative agenda.

We need to be preparing for 2012. Yeah, but It's more likely the 2014 midterms will be the first possible election where the base has returned to sanity. There is a huge battle to be fought between now and then and it will take some time to air the room out.

wrong- He had endorsed Fred and is ‘said’ to be considering Paul but that hasn’t been confirmed by him.
He’s so conservative most of the Republican base couldn’t recognize the fact it it crawled up their noses.

I hate to break it to you but the truth is that Ron Paul IS IN FACT the only true conservative left in this three ring circus.....and that’s coming at ya from a die hard FreadHead who is using a space heater to attempt warming toward Romney.

That sort of conservatism died after WWII.
RP is trying to bring it back into the mainstream, but it's dead.
Pat Buchanan tried as well, but he failed miserably.
I don't give it a minutes worth of attention, nor should anyone.
The Democrats have their Dixiecrats, and we have RP, and PB.
